Vierne : Complete Organ Works Vol 5 (Barenreiter)

Symphony No. 5, the largest of Vierneâs six organ symphonies, was full of misprints in its first edition. Our edition takes the composerâs autograph as its principal source. Unlike previous editions, Helga Schauerte-Maubouet has also drawn on a fragmentary handwritten errata list as a secondary source, allowing her to verify Vierneâs late alterations to details in the autograph.
Her foreword also sheds light on the biographical background and explains the workâs genesis in great detail. Using previously unpublished letters, she has been able, for the first time, to provide exact dates for each movement.
